Blockchain: Ticket to the Internet of Everything Era

Review the history of the iterative development of information technology in the past two decades. Since 2000 in the ancient times of the IT industry, China's Internet has set off the first wave of PCs. IDC computer rooms and broadband have become the infrastructure of the Internet, and they still play a role today; the second stage of the mobile Internet era began around 2010. We can already It is very natural to use mobile phones or other mobile devices to live online at any time. After the mobile Internet in 2010, the biggest rising service is cloud service, which is at the same time node as the wave of smartphones.

The reason why I think so, in summary, the greatest value of the Internet of Information lies in the formation of low-cost value generation, transmission and distribution, the second stage of the mobile Internet, the generation, transmission and distribution of value is more efficient and convenient. The development of blockchain technology itself is an inevitable product of the development time stage of the information Internet. The greatest value is the distribution of credible value and distribution of incentives.

How to realize the integration and sharing of blockchain and data

Zhang Shuai said that when discussing blockchain applications, many people jump directly to the stage of value distribution, but in fact, blockchain technology itself is also in the process of development.

For example, in the first stage of the blockchain, it is necessary to put trusted information on the chain to form value, because the blockchain itself will not generate credible and valuable data. Unlike Bitcoin's completely self-maintaining network, all information is generated on-chain.

The integration of blockchain and data will inevitably involve the credibility of the original data on the chain itself. Therefore, we believe that the first stage is value generation, that is, how to upload trusted information to the chain. We can use credible institutions to let them control the chaining action, or use some edge-end IoT devices to directly collect information from the source and upload it to the chain. , to solve the problem of the first mile of the blockchain.

The second stage is called value transmission or value transfer. We divide it into two directions. One is to digitize assets. For example, we digitize credit assets such as credit evidence, contracts, invoices, logistics information, and production information of some enterprises. And become a transferable asset, which is widely used in fields such as supply chain finance. The other is to capitalize data, combining small data into big data based on available and invisible methods.

The third stage of value distribution, for example, based on the smart contract to agree on the data itself, what price we need to use, as long as we recognize each other and agree on the incentive method, we can make the incentive ecological, that is, use the incentive to use smart contracts or Other methods are solidified in the blockchain to form a new distributed business value system.

From a technical point of view, facing such demands, what is QuChain or the blockchain industry doing? Zhang Shuai gave a brief introduction based on the company's technology ecology. From the bottom infrastructure layer, traditional IDC and cloud service providers, such as public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, etc. are created. From the perspective of blockchain, based on this infrastructure, QuChain forms a traditionally understood blockchain, such as consensus algorithms, storage networking, and execution of consensus contracts.

The combination of data mainly involves two layers. The first is called the exchange extension layer, which realizes trusted storage and exchange of data; the second is the cross-chain protocol layer, which enables reliable data exchange between different chains. platform.

Such a technical system has actually been implemented in a large number of fields such as finance, blockchain and supply chain finance, such as smart government affairs, electronic certificates, and medical interconnection. And large manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus also use blockchain to track and trace all parts and supply chains.

Landing flowers, blockchain builds a provident fund data sharing platform

Zhang Shuai shared the experience and practical cases of Qulian Technology in the field of blockchain and data sharing. For example, the provident fund data sharing platform jointly developed by Qulian Technology, the head office of China Construction Bank and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, as long as you pay the housing provident fund, then your data has been shared on the provident fund chain through the blockchain platform of Funchain . Blockchain technology helps public reserve centers form a data sharing to ensure data accuracy, consistency and security, and realize data business collaboration among multiple departments.

The second case is that we worked with the National Audit Office to create a credible data storage system. The greatest value of the use of blockchain by the Audit Office lies in the storage of original data, the use of smart contracts to execute audit models, and the improvement of data query calculation and verification. The two most worrying issues in the field of auditing are whether the original information data has been tampered with since it was uploaded, and whether real-time in-process auditing can be realized. Now based on the blockchain, the real-time uploading of the original data and the implementation of the audit can be achieved. The benefits brought about are to improve the efficiency of the collaborative audit, calculate the operation process, audit steps and results through the blockchain, and reduce the volume of big data. Repeat the verification operation.
